Question

Answer 1

In your adapter's oncreate() define

 ImageLoader imageLoader=new  ImageLoader(activity.getApplicationContext());

and use it in the getView() method:

imageLoader.DisplayImage(//your image url, //your imageView);

Answer 2

Write below code line into your adapter's getView() method, here imageUrls[position] is array of Image Urls and holder.image is imageview.

imageLoader.displayImage(imageUrls[position], holder.image, null);

And write below code line into your adapter constructor.

ImageLoader imageLoader=new  ImageLoader(activity.getApplicationContext());

it will solve your problem, And if you have any query regarding that then tell me.

And see below link for complete source code of Universal Image Loader Example.

Answer 3

I will suggest you using AQuery - (Android-Query) - a super simple UI manipulation framework for Android.

AQuery comes as a library, which you need to include in your build path.

In AQuery, you can download, display (with effects) and cache the image (both in memory and disk) with following lines:

AQuery aq = new AQuery(yourActivity.this);
boolean memCache = true;
boolean fileCache = true;
aq.id(R.id.image1).image("http://www.example.com/image.jpg", memCache, fileCache);

AQuery will handle all the data downloading processes, and will display images on your ImageView you've given. Once you load the image, it will be cached in the memory (or disk) according to the boolean parameters memCache and fileCache. The next time, it will load the image from the memory cache or file cache.

For more information and examples, you should visit the AQuery Project at http://code.google.com/p/android-query/

This will Help you to load imageurl using universal imageloader it will give status for imageurl is start to Loading , Completed or failed and request is cancel status also providing.I hope it may help you..

 public void ImageLoaderListener(String url){

        imageLoader.loadImage(url,new ImageLoadingListener(){
            @Override
            public void onLoadingStarted(String imageUri, View view) {
                Log.e("tag", "onLoadingStarted");
            }

            @Override
            public void onLoadingFailed(String imageUri, View view, FailReason failReason) {
                Log.e("tag", "onLoadingFailed");
            }
            @Override
            public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view, Bitmap loadedImage) {
                Log.e("tag", "onLoadingComplete");
                imageView.setImageBitmap(loadedImage);
            }
            @Override
            public void onLoadingCancelled(String imageUri, View view) {
                Log.e("tag", "onLoadingCancelled");
            }
        });
    }

if you like to cache the image add this below functions... But to initiate on create because its very highly ..

 ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
            .defaultDisplayImageOptions(DisplayImageOptions.createSimple())
            .build();

    imageLoader = ImageLoader.getInstance();

    if (!imageLoader.isInited()) {
        imageLoader.init(config);
    }
    defaultOptions = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
            .cacheInMemory(true)
            .cacheOnDisc(true)
            .build();

Then you will add that ImageLoadingListener() function...

public void ImageLoaderListener(String url){
  imageLoader.loadImage(url, defaultOptions, new ImageLoadingListener() {
